Abstract
Acute, traumatic distal biceps tendon ruptures are a common injury in the middle-aged athletic male population, with direct anatomic surgical repair being the most effective technique to restore maximal strength. Multiple techniques for distal biceps tendon repair have been described, including single- or dual-incision approaches and tendon fixation with cortical buttons, interference screws, suture anchors, and transosseous sutures. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate an anatomic distal biceps tendon repair technique with a single-incision approach using 2 all-suture cortical buttons.
